Boy, it was hard coming up with a subject line for this one!
I've had a request from one of our nurse educators that has me stumped. She wants to know if the frequency of rollouts of new policies and procedures or products has any effects on staff or patient care. For example, Policy A is rolled out in January, New Product B is introduced in February, Policy C in March, and so on - how effective can those rollouts be if nurses are asked to master Product B when they still aren't skilled in new Procedure A?
I've found these two articles that might be useful:
Koppel J, Virkstis K, Strumwasser S, Katz M, Boston-Fleischhauer C. Regulating the Flow of Change to Reduce Frontline Nurse Stress and Burnout. J Nurs Adm. 2015 Nov;45(11):534-6. doi: 10.1097/NNA.0000000000000258.
Sparger K, Selgas M, Collins PM, Lindgren CL, Massieu M, Castillo AS. The EBP rollout process. Nurs Manage. 2012 May;43(5):14-20. doi: 10.1097/01.NUMA.0000413650.72966.f4.
I would love to hear your suggestions!
Many thanks,
